● Status tab—Displays status information about TCP performance related parameters, UDP performance related parameters,
CPU Busy, System Up Time, Wyse Management Suite status, Free Memory, Active sessions, and WDM status.
On the Wyse 5470 Thin Client, the battery percentage and the estimated battery time remaining are displayed. When the AC
adapter is plugged in and charging, the remaining time is displayed as Charging.
● IPv6 tab—Displays IPv6 information such as Link-local Address, IPv6 Address, and IPv6 Default Gateway.
NOTE: This tab is displayed when IPv6 is enabled in the General tab of the Network Setup dialog box.
● ENET tab—Displays information about wired network connections.
● WLAN tab—Displays information about wireless network connections.
● About tab—Displays information about the ThinOS operating system. The following attributes are listed:
○
Platform name
○ Operating system type
○ ThinOS build name
○ ThinOS build version
○ BIOS name
○ BIOS version
○ Citrix Broker or Receiver version—This represents ICA revisions between the ThinOS versions.
○ Dell vWorkspace version
○ VMware Horizon version—This represents the Horizon revisions between the ThinOS versions.
○ Microsoft Broker or RDP version
○ Teradici PCoIP version—This represents the PCoIP revisions between the ThinOS versions, and is applicable to the
PCoIP devices only.
○ Imprivata version
○ Caradigm version
○ SECUREMATRIX version
○ HealthCast version
NOTE:
○ Kernel mode—The components are implemented in Kernel according to the specification. The version is displayed
as [max].[min], which is the base version of protocol or server or client of the component. For example, the
Microsoft RDP protocol version is 10.0, the Imprivata version is 5.2, and so on.
○ User mode—The components are from the source, or binaries from third party that are compiled or integrated into
ThinOS. The version is displayed as [max].[min].[svn_revision]. The [max] and [min] is the base version of the third
component, and the [svn_revision] is the source control revision of ThinOS. Using the ThinOS specified version, you
can identify the changes between different revisions. For example, the Citrix Receiver version is 14.0.44705, the
VMware Horizon version is 4.8.x, and so on. The components are matched to the installed packages. If the packages
are removed, the field remains empty in the About tab.
ENERGY STAR compliance
ENERGY STAR is a standard label on devices that meet energy-efficiency requirements by Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). Wyse 5070, Wyse 5470, and Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin clients with ThinOS are ENERGY STAR compliant. For more
information about the ENERGY STAR program, see www.energystar.gov.
ThinOS-based devices are ENERGY STAR 8 compliant. To enable or disable ENERGY STAR 8 on your thin client, deploy the INI
parameter enableEEE={0,1}.
IPv6 certification
All networks are required to be Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) capable. Wyse 5070, Wyse 5470, and Wyse 5470 All-in-One
thin clients with ThinOS are certified for IPv6 capability.
